Bible Comments

A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. A good man obtaineth favor - First, it is God who makes him good; for every child of Adam is bad till the grace of God changes his heart. Secondly, while he walks in the path of obedience he increases in goodness, and consequently in the favor of the Lord.
